Warn young people of dangers of clandestine migration, says Euro-Med Migration Forum[21/10/2003]

A special project to warn potential irregular migrants - particularly young people - of the dangers of clandestine migration could be one of the priorities of a proposed new Council of Europe migration agency, according to the final declaration of the first Euro-Mediterranean parliamentary forum on migration which finished in Limassol, Cyprus, today. The forum -organised by the Assembly's Migration Committee with participants from Egypt, Algeria, Jordan, Syria, Tunisia and the Palestinian Territories as well as Europe - also stressed the economic, cultural and social benefits of labour migration.
